Have you ever worked in an organisation where the director and her deputies have top of the line machines with LCDs on their huge desks while the hired Indian programmers who were brought in to do the real hacking work were using early Pentium machines with dim monitors?
I have observed this in the late nineties and it amused me to no end then. In any case, if you were wondering, this is not a commercial, profit-making entity we are talking about.

So how did the directory and her deputies managed to get those expensive huge machines ?
Yes, I did while working for a software company many years ago.
In fact the all the directors get the latest gadgets while the rest who slaved for the works were given very basic hardwares.
When the company collapsed it was first salary cut for most employees then they were made redundant while the directors retain all the privileges etc.
I too was made redundant after that.

Well, web site developers, it was magic!
Anonymous, it is entirely not surprising. This time, in a commercial entity that I worked for some years ago, when it came to a layoff the useless VP of technology (who was more busy pursuing something else... like a married woman) of course remained. After all, he dictated the layoffs.
The 80% - 20% rule at work.
It also happens that the 20% also seems to get 80% of the money in many cases.
Yes, you are right. That's for sure.
In this case, I do wonder if their entitlement is merited.
